More than 60 murders from Dec 2010 to mid-January 2011 on farms and smallholdings – André Botha, Agri SA. This excludes recent farm murders like that of Helgard Muller (66) of the farm Mara in Frankfort.

These murders are an indication of moral decay in South Africa – Salam Abram, ANC MP. “There is no respect for fellow citizens or age.”

Here is the difference and the reason why SA is lost: In NZ 65 confirmed dead with the recent earthquake. The country is in shock...its all over the news non stop. In South Africa people being murdered is a natural consequence of living there. So is the brutality in which most die. We are so used to this it doesn't shock us at all. We just take it in our stride. In any other country our crime stats, and specifically farm murders would have caused a national stir...it would be in the news all the time, special groups and task forces would be organized to battle this pandemic. But here its more important to create further BEE legislation and focus on unimportant issues that only serve the black elite.

It also shows that the international community is more racist than what they would like to admit. They dont care for blacks and hold them to a much lower standard (I wonder when this will change?). If SA was any other country the world would have been up in arms, but because the majority of the victims is black and the minority is the hated Boer, who cares.

I'm not paranoid enough to believe that the ANC is actually organising or orchestrating the farm murders, but I'm cynical enough to notice that it fits in mightily well with their land re-distribution manifesto...
